Yeh, Durance and the Sewers are an absolute nightmare.

Teleport and those annoying flying crows

Thanks y'all. I have to say, having played the entire game deathless, the most terrifying thing *by far* is the undead stygian doll. Even in nightmare, they run as fast as a max

Vigor and can put

Holy Shield 1k hp into hit recovery with a normal attack. Absolute monsters.

Yes, they're awful!

One of my strategies for them is to take away my merc's weapon, put it in my cube, buy a

Teleport charges staff, then run through the dg. When a pack starts coming towards me, let merc engage, then

Teleport past them. It works pretty well! Sewers is nice because you can usually put a river between you and them. Durance is less so, but once you find Durance 2 WP you can reroll durance until you are doll free.

What other strategies do HC players have for the horrible creatures?

I've been thinking about this. Beyond just bravely running away (by save & quitting), my only strategy has been to hide behind the merc and spend all my money reviving him when he inevitably dies. Not very sophisticated either way

Had a week off after my latest Death, trying a summon druid this time in the hope that slow and steady does the trick.

I am not HC but as a necro player, most of the thing consists in having a meat (well, Bone) shield of skellies +

Bone Armor recasted often. And full rejuvs ready.
